Belden Inc. CA21113007 CAT6 Patch Cord Cmr 7 in

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21113007 is a CAT6 patch cord rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) and finished in light orange. Patch cords in this category carry structured network data signals between active equipment and patch panels or wall jacks. The CMR riser rating meets fire-code requirements for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings. At 7 inches in length, this cord is suited for short, high-density connections inside rack enclosures or patch panels where cable management is critical. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network installers are the primary trades working with this type of cabling.

This patch cord is used in structured cabling installations where CAT6 performance is required. Typical applications include horizontal and backbone connections in commercial office environments, data centers, and server rooms. The short 7-inch length makes it well suited for same-rack patching in high-density panel installations where longer cords would create unmanageable slack. The light orange jacket color aids in visual port identification and cable tracing within busy patch fields.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for use with CAT6 and CAT6E patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or network cabling technicians following ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure patch panel ports and jack terminations are fully seated before inserting the patch cord to avoid intermittent connections. De-energize or place active ports in an administratively down state where possible before disturbing live connections in sensitive network environments. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal integrity.
